   Where have all the 12s gone?!

   HisHands replied to HisHands's topic in California

   Well, being from MI, all you see for like 4-6 months a year is gray sky and snow. When my husband told me Uncle Sam was moving us to CA, I envisioned sunny skies and relaxing on the beach. Has it been aweful! It's been cold, rainy, and definitely ...

   Where have all the 12s gone?!

   HisHands posted a topic in California

   I haven't been on in a while.... lots of stuff going on: husband deployed, returned and then moved me across the country. Now we are in "sunny" north SF Bay area, and, um... loving? it. Anywho, there were 12 hour shifts up the whazoo in MI, but I c...

   White scrub pants that you can't see through!

   HisHands replied to R0xyg4l's topic in General Nursing

   Cherokee brand (not cherokee workwear) makes a great flare leg pant (with the stylish slit at the ankle). We have to wear Navy and white, so I'm a white scrub pro. You can't see through them or anything.

   Tall Girl Scrubs

   HisHands replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

   I am shocked. I am 5'3" and wear cherokee scrubs. I have to buy the regular length because the petites are WAAAY to short, even for me. But, the regular lengths go completely over my shoes and drag on the ground (really not all that professional)....

   Am I being pathetic?

   HisHands replied to Kina21's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I really hate to sound like a downer, but here's something to think about. When I sat down for my very first nursing class, I remember thinking "I only need to get a 75%?! That's awesome." I was a good student... I graduated with a 3.5 overall. ...

   Tattoos and nursing

   HisHands replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

   wow classy, you seem really disqualifying here. "So to all you in the lower echelons of nursing with visible arm/neck tattoos who dream of achieving more:trout:." What the heck is that? I could TOTALLY see my employer saying, "Yes Crystal. You ar...

   RN student - can I challenge the LVN/LPN NCLEX?

   HisHands replied to Jusrovin's topic in LPN/LVN

   1 - I think it's bunk that RNs who FAILED school are trying to become LPNs. If you FAILED nursing school obviously you missed something there. There must have been concepts that you didn't understand. I'm sorry but I would NEVER let you anywhere n...

    Why Would He...??

    HisHands replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN/LVN

    There will always be someone around you don't like. There will always be someone who got their job, and you didn't think it was fair. There will always be someone who does things differently, non-traditionally, or in a different way than everyone e...

    Letter to Dean??

    HisHands replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Students

    I just meant "girlfriend" as a female friend. I know you want to find some way to let this person know she's been influential in your nsg journey. Why not tell her? I bet she would love that sort of encouragement right now. Maybe you and your cla...

    Nights: Normal schedule on days off??

    HisHands replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I work evenings 5 days per week. One thing to consider which may or may not affect you is this. I get off at 11:30pm. By the time I wind down it's 1-1:30. Sometimes later. I don't see my hubby much, either. It's also difficult if you are used t...
